Show abstract
Animal models of human disease are a key component of translational research and yet there is often no consensus on which model is optimal for a particular disease. Here, we generated a database of 3,920 rodent models of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Study designs were highly heterogeneous therefore few models had been cited more than once. Analysis of genetic models provided evidence for the role of adipose dysfunction and perturbation of the innate immune system in the progression of NAFLD. We identified that high-fat, high-fructose diets most closely recapitulate the human phenotype of NAFLD. There was substantial variability in the nomenclature of animal models; a consensus on terminology of specialist diets is needed. More broadly, this analysis demonstrates the variability in preclinical study design, which has implications for the reproducibility of in vivo experiments.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
